What’s so funny? Best and worst fish jokes

“Why do we love fish so much?” we hear you ask.

Well apart from our Frozen At Sea fish being delicious as well as healthy, they can be pretty funny too.

We certainly know how to serve up high quality Frozen At Sea products, but what about turning our talents to some slap-stick comedy…

We have compiled a list of our favourite and hilarious - ok, our favourite - fish jokes for you to enjoy, so have a read and see if you cod do any batter!

What day of the week do fish hate? Frydays Did you hear about the cod that went to the seafood disco? He pulled a muscle Did you hear about the big fight at the fish and chip shop? Three fish got battered What do you call a big fish who makes you an offer you can’t refuse? The Codfather Why did the plaice go to the doctor? Because she was feeling a bit flat Where do you find a crab with no legs? Exactly where you left it

“Punniest” chip shop na mes

What kind of money do fishermen make? Net profits Oh cod, I can’t take any more of these fish puns, I’m outta this plaice!

This might be what you are thinking after reading our funny list of jokes, but fish, as we all know, is an essential element of a healthy, balanced diet and can enrich the human body.

With our Frozen At Sea Cod and Haddock being a rich source of potassium and omega 3, we know who’s really laughing.

F ish Facts At Collins Seafoods we’re fascinated by fish, and why wouldn’t we be? After reading these lesser known fish facts we think you will be too. There are many health benefits of our Frozen at Sea Cod and Haddock (which are pretty great), but they’re not the most talented fish in the sea…

1. Green fingered Damselfish Some species of Damselfish (Stegastes Nigricans to be precise) are unable to digest many types of algae. So, being fussy eaters, they selectively weed their algae gardens to encourage their preferred meal to grow.

2. Long live the Jellyfish Whilst not technically a fish, the Turritopsis dohrnii or ‘immortal jellyfish’ might be worth a mention seeing as it may well have cracked the secret to eternal life. This particular species of Jellyfish can revert back to its juvenile state of a polyp colony, eventually becoming an adult once again.

3. What’s the time Mr Fish?

A Humphead Wrasse called Bentley has been conditioned to expect food upon hearing a certain sound. This clever fish remembered exactly what to do when the sound was played after a four month gap.

4. Rise of the planet of the fish?

An Orange Spotted Turkfish has been caught on camera using tools to get to its food. In the video the intrepid fish can be seen picking up a clam in its mouth and repeatedly throwing it against a rock in order to crack it open.

5. The great escape Australian crimson spotted rainbow fish learnt how to escape the net in their tank then remembered how to do it 11months later!

6. Pablo Puffer Fish Artistic Puffer fish can spend up to a week creating artistic patterns on the sea bed in order to impress a mate.

All pretty impressive…but there is no way that they taste half as good as our Cod and Haddock!
